Bringing on another writer to help you keep your blog going is a practical way to outsource part of a project that you probably enjoy but just don’t have the time to really work on. There are many freelance writers willing to work on a variety of topics — it’s just a matter of finding a writer who writes on the topic your blog covers and whose writing you enjoy. To help get you started in finding a great blog writer, we’ve compiled a list of 50 freelancers for you. But we need to find 50 more to get the list to 100 in a follow-on post! Help out by letting us know of some other good freelance bloggers, what topics they blog about, and where they write. A quaint little prize awaits the person who can supply the most names (of actual freelance writers, not of random people from the phone book). (Prize will be administered February 28, 2009.)

Thursday has been blogging about a variety of subjects for over six years. She has written extensively about productivity and is always looking for another way to make life easier. Also she has helped the writing service essaybasics.com to organize their work life.

Thank you for including me on your list. If I may suggest a change, though? While I am not opposed to writing about real estate and finance, I have not yet done so. My main areas are creativity (including writing), fashion, plus-size issues, and general interest articles. One place I have been published is WritingForDollars (www.writingfordollars.com), which may be where the idea about finance figures in.

As an update, other topics that I cover include personal development, social media, and online tools. My writing can also be found at mobilemag.com, johnchow.com, and futurelooks.com, among other places.

Hi, I wasn’t sure if we were supposed to send the info somewhere or post it here, so here it is.

I have a few blogs and write about issues involving health, seniors, pregnancy, and nursing (the profession). I also can blog about freelance writing, dogs (particularly greyhounds), parenting older kids, and quilting.

I’d love to be included. My specialty is WINE! I’m a sommelier who runs Swirl Events (www.SwirlEvents.com) a wine tasting party company. I also write the blog: swirlsavvy.blogspot.com and write wine articles for Tasting Table (it’s like the Daily Candy of food in NYC)

This is a great resource. In fact, I’m going to bookmark it because although I don’t outsource, I like to keep a roster of freelancers that I can refer my clients to if I can’t take on their projects. Thanks for including Scribizzy and Writing Forward here, by the way

Hi–would love to be added to the list. I blog about diabetes, infertility, pregnancy and parenting at Managing the Sweetness WIthin and I write about assorted women’s issues. My site is CherylAlkon.com for more info.

Thanks for the mention Thursday. I also write about deals and bargains in Auckland at http://aucklandonthecheap.intrepid101.com as well as writing about health (I’m a fully trained Audiologist), expat issues, women’s issues, adventure travel for the timid and on the odd occasion food.

I was just thinking, this is also a fantastic list for fellow freelancer writers, “Friends you should know in the industry.” This post is just one example of the ways we’ve often come together to help each other. It is amazing to be apart of such a supportive community!

My name is Sal Vilardo, hailing from http://everydaythoughtsfromlife.blogspot.com. I write tech reviews, self help articles and a variety of blog content ranging from everyday thoughts to how to make your work space more efficient. With a military background I am fine with deadlines and an attention to detail freak.

Travel is my main area of knowledge but I also write on social media and other topics plus dabble in WordPress consulting. You might like to mention my knowledge of podcasting, showcased on Indie Travel Podcast.

The final results are in. Melanie McMinn wins the prize — a $15 Amazon gift card. Sharon Hurley Hall will also receive a $10 Amazon gift card for her contributions. Thanks to everyone who offered up names. 51-100 will be published shortly.

I really appreciated your list of freelance writers. It’s hard to outsource a task like writing in the sense that it’s a bit risky. I’ve been very disappointed with some of the results I’ve experienced with outsourcing articles.

I’d always rather use someone who is ‘vouched’ for. Also, it makes it easy in your list since their subject matter specialty is included.
Thanks!
